Considerations Regarding Wetting Conditions in Aluminium-Alumina Composites

Abstract:

The mechanical and physical properties of metallic composites with aluminium matrix and alumina particles as complementary material have made them a good candidate for automotive, aerospace and many other applications. Some calculus regarding main aspect of wetting conditions between aluminium and alumina are made by using special literature information. Also, some improvement techniques of wetting conditions are described.
